Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

With a decision made, Shen Wen’an first arrived at the South City Gate of Yunshui City.

Not far outside the city gate stood Zhai Yuqing, dressed in an ink-black robe, with an antique sword box on his back, his dragon whisker-like hair blowing in the wind.

”Senior Brother Zhai.”

Shen Wen’an approached and cupped his hands in greeting.

Zhai Yuqing smiled, returning the gesture without speaking aloud, but his voice sounded in Shen Wen’an’s ear: ”I’ve come for no other reason but to discover last night, in the mountains, a terrifying aura burst out over Yunshui City. I wonder...”

”Senior Brother Zhai, I will explain this matter later. Right now, you need to come with me to welcome another senior.”

His words were interrupted, and Zhai Yuqing was somewhat surprised.

”Is it... that Nascent Soul senior from the Danzhou Barrier?”

With his strength as a Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, the one whom Shen Wen’an needed him to help welcome, addressed as ”senior,” had to be of the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.

Among the Nascent Soul True Monarchs that he knew, only Luo Tianxing had good relations with the Shen Family.

Shen Wen’an nodded wryly.

Seeing this, Zhai Yuqing lowered his head and continued to transmit his voice using a secret skill:

”Then let’s go.”

The two of them controlled their swords to the void at the West City Gate and saw Luo Tianxing standing on a cloud in the void.

”Greetings, senior.”

After the two greeted with cupped hands, Shen Chongming said: ”Sorry to keep you waiting, senior.”

”Please follow the younger generation to the city for tea.”

Luo Tianxing nodded slightly, glanced at Zhai Yuqing, and the three of them headed towards the old Shen Family mansion.

In the side room, after the servant offered spirit tea and withdrew, Luo Tianxing asked in confusion: ”What happened in Yangnao Land last night?”

”Even from faraway Danzhou, I sensed a majestic heavenly might, as if old monsters of the Nascent Soul Realm were fighting.”

Zhai Yuqing took a sip of tea, also curious as he looked at Shen Wen’an.

Facing their gazes, Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment, cupped his hands, and said: ”To be honest with you, senior and senior brother, Wen’an does not know the specifics.”

”Just before midnight last night, a pitch-black thunderbolt suddenly spread from the distant void, seemingly targeting Yunshui City of my Shen Family.”

”As the thunder approached, the younger generation, Chongming and Xu Zhan, went to block it, but were severely injured by the thunder.”

”Afterwards, a beam of golden light from nowhere rushed into the void, engaged in combat with the black thunder for a cup of tea’s time, and then both the thunder and the golden light disappeared.”

He did not mention the golden skeleton.

Judging from the current situation, the golden skeleton appeared to be Xu Zhan’s guardian.

In the future, whether it would act again when the Shen Family faced danger was uncertain, but it was at least a card to have up one’s sleeve.

As for the black thunder, he truly did not know.

He could only vaguely guess that the thunder was triggered by his father touching some taboo.

But now, his father Shen Yuan was in seclusion, and it was not convenient to inquire.

”Black thunder?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing’s expression suddenly became somewhat serious.

With his knowledge as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he naturally knew many secrets of heavenly might.

”Does senior know what that black thunder is?”

Seeing him deep in thought, Shen Wen’an hastily cupped his hands and spoke.

Luo Tianxing nodded, lifted the tea cup before him, took a sip, and said: ”Since I came today with nothing else in mind, I will explain it to you.”

”Coincidentally, this kid in Cyan Ruo Sword House has reached the Purple Mansion Realm, so it’s a good deed to tell you in advance.”

Pausing, Luo Tianxing continued: ”You both should know that when a cultivator breaks through from the Purple Mansion to the Nascent Soul, a Celestial Tribulation is triggered.”

”This Celestial Tribulation is also known as the ’Triple Nine Tribulation.’”

Hearing this, images of Hidden Dragon Mountain and the scene of the Purple Mansion peak Flood Dragon undergoing tribulation to become Nascent Soul flashed in Shen Wen’an’s mind.

Zhai Yuqing, at this moment, also held his breath, quietly watching Luo Tianxing.

As someone in the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal Realm, he felt the chances of breaking through to Nascent Soul were slim.

But there was always a glimmer of hope.

And at such a time, gaining the guidance of an experienced person was undoubtedly invaluable fortune.

Luo Tianxing continued: ”The Celestial Tribulation is Heaven’s test for cultivators.”

”This ’Triple Nine Tribulation’ will descend different thunder tribulations based on the cultivator’s strength, cultivation system and technique, personal karma and karmic burdens, and other factors.”

”Based on different thunder tribulations, the predecessors in the cultivation realm have divided this tribulation into three levels.”

”The ’Triple Nine Tribulation’ comprises a total of twenty-seven heavenly thunders, nine in each level, each stronger than the last.”

”The weakest ’Triple Nine Tribulation’ is composed of twenty-seven ’Cyan Sky Thunders,’ whose color appears cyan or silvery white, with not too great a power.”

”The first two thunder tribulations test the physical body and the True Essence within, the third tests the Nascent Soul and Divine Spirit.”

”Cultivators undergoing tribulation facing the ’Cyan Sky Thunder Tribulation,’ as long as their cultivation is stable enough and they are well-prepared, have a decent chance of succeeding in the tribulation.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhai Yuqing thought for a moment and, with secret skills, asked: ”In this way, encountering the ’Cyan Sky Thunder Tribulation’ during a cultivator’s tribulation can be considered hitting great fortune?”

Luo Tianxing shook his head with a faint smile.

”From a certain perspective, Heaven is quite fair to us cultivators.”

”With less risk, naturally, the gains will not be too large.”

”Even among Nascent Soul True Monarchs who have crossed the ’Triple Nine Tribulation,’ those who faced the ’Cyan Sky Thunder Tribulation’ are inherently weaker.”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yuqing nodded in realization.

Luo Tianxing continued: ”Compared to the ’Cyan Sky Thunder Tribulation,’ the second-level thunder tribulation in the ’Triple Nine Tribulation’ is the one most Nascent Soul True Monarchs hope to avoid.”

”This second type of thunder tribulation is known as the ’Earth Demon Thunder Tribulation.’
